At the police station, Abby crabs about Rey for hi-jacking the Dark Horse launch and shows him the Chronicle’s disparaging headline about Nick. Rey points out it says Nick was released.

Rey concedes she’s right, and he agrees to issue the statement. He won’t lay off investigating JT.

Summer joins Nick at Dark Horse. He’s cynical about her support given that he had to pay her not to torpedo his life. Summer asks if she lost her dad when she took the check. Nick assures he loves her and is always there for her. Summer opens up about having taken someone for granted for a long time, and him being done with her. Nick suggests she apologize to her ‘friend’. Jack appears, and Summer goes. Nick assumes Jack has questions about his arrest and admits he hacked into Newman Enterprises by impersonating JT. Jack warns he may have immunity with Chris and Paul, but the Feds may not give him a free pass. Nick decides he’ll hire someone to wipe the data. Jack’s impressed by Nick’s ‘Victor’ move. Nick’s sick of the comparisons. They muse about men being compared to their fathers, which leads Nick to sneer about Albert Miller being a sick bastard. They discuss Nick and Victor’s encounter with Miller in the nursing home – Nick knows Victor will never forget the hatred in his eyes; it fuels him. Nick recalls his grandfather was so toxic he never wants to hear his name again, but complains Victor keeps perpetuating the cycle.

Summer finds Kyle at Jabot. He tells her Billy just left. She apologizes to him; she didn’t like how they left things, and knows she hurt him. Summer needs his friendship.

Summer doesn’t want to lose him. Kyle insists they move on.
